They are also dynamic. As Jean Lave and others have argued\, such pr ocesses transform both the people involved and the practices that are enac ted and carried. In general terms\, the proposition that the careers of in dividual practitioners\, and cohorts of carriers are intertwined with the lives of the practices they carry is not particularly controversial. Howev er\, more complicated questions arise when we go into detail: how and why do some practices have extended and differentiated career 'structures' and others not? How do such structures shape the ways in which 'templates' of proper performance proliferate and change? How do practitioners' careers develop between as well as within specific practices? Thinking about these questions calls for further discussion of how practices evolve in relatio n to each other and to the institutions and infrastructures on which they depend (and which they also reproduce). I explore these somewhat abstract ideas with reference to a handful of specific examples relating to sport a nd leisure and to occupations\, professions and working lives.

Epistemic viole nce and feminist interventions"\nBased on a short piece of prose by Franz Kafka - "The Silence of the Sirens" (1917) - the lecture will examine how silence is embedded in language from the perspective of feminist\, postcol onially informed theory. Two aspects of epistemic violence are central to this: firstly\, the fact that the hearing of non-hegemonic - for example f eminist - content is structurally fragile and\, secondly\, "the close conn ection between the status of subalternity and silence" (Hito Steyerl).

Hardly any lengthy introduction to the topic of subjectivisation can do without Luis Althusser's prominent street scene a nd its central slogan: "Hey\, you there!". This is the formulation analogo us to the biblical opening word\, which is intended to provide an answer t o the question of the origin of the subject and finds it in the "invocatio n" by another. In this sense\, being a subject seems above all to mean exi stence in a linguistically structured world.\nIf one shifts the analysis o f subjectivation processes to decidedly non-linguistic areas\, one quickly reaches the limits of this paradigm. In order to think pre-linguistic and extra-linguistic ways of subject formation\, concepts are needed that lea ve the discursive sphere and attempt to measure the 'speechless' intermedi ate space of subjects. The lecture will thematise the axes of seeing and b eing seen as a decisive dimension of this space. The fact that these axes are just as constitutive for the experience of the subject as the problems of sayability will be developed on the basis of Althusser's 'canonical' t ext. While the figure of the "invocation" outlined there is scrutinised fo r its implicit model of the "gaze" in the works of Jacques Lacan\, the con tours of a model of subjectivation emerge that marks the constitutive enta nglement of speech and gaze. The subject opens its eye in the force field of the speech that misses its invisible angle and thereby becomes a means of coping with this invisibility. \nFinally\, a look at a decisive inventi on of visual culture around 1500 serves as an indication of how this parad oxical presence of the subject in the visible is to be conceived: the rapi d spread of the perspective image paradigm is the prelude to an order of v isibility that is organised around a vanishing point in the same way as th e world of the subject. The fact that this decisive point is as central to the order itself as it is disappearing as a result heralds the ambivalenc e of the subject on the level of the visible: Its disappearance or absence is the very way that marks its existence in the visible.
